A condo owner asked for records. The association responded with Dropbox links, banker boxes, binders, filing cabinets and thousands of pages of documents.
Sounds compliant, right? This week on Condo Craze and HOAs, attorney Eric Glazer breaks down the shocking Florida condo records cases where associations got into legal trouble AFTER giving owners access to records.
What is “reasonable access”?
What can associations legally...
Most condo owners think they understand how community living works…
Until something goes wrong.
In this special episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, attorney Eric Glazer officially debuts his new book:
“What the Hell Did I Just Buy?”
After more than 30 years practicing condominium and HOA law in Florida, Eric pulls back the curtain on the real world of condos and HOAs, the fights, the politics, the hidden financial dangers,...
Most condo owners think they can just sue their association. Not so fast. Florida law actually starts from a different assumption, that owners are already at a disadvantage.
In this episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, attorney Eric Glazer and co-host Karen Curtis Florida Statute 718.1255, why disputes are pushed away from court, and what that means for you before a case even begins.

Many homeowners and HOA board members assume that when a dispute arises, the next step is simple… file a lawsuit.
But in Florida, that assumption can cost you thousands of dollars.
Under Florida Statute 720.311, most disputes in homeowners associations must go through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) before a lawsuit can even begin. That usually means pre-suit mediation, where both sides attempt to resolve the issue befor...
Something major just changed in the mortgage industry… and most condo owners don’t even know it yet.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have updated the rules that determine whether buyers can get loans in condominium buildings.
Some condos may now qualify for financing again after insurance rules were relaxed.
But at the exact same time, lenders are tightening the financial standards associations must meet.

Thousands of communities across Florida call themselves 55 and over communities.
But what if one lawsuit could prove… they legally aren’t?
In this episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, Eric Glazer breaks down a real South Florida court case that shook a Tamarac community and revealed a surprising truth about 55+ communities and the Fair Housing Act.
If you live in, manage, or serve on the board of a condo or HOA in Florida, thi...
Florida is the capital of 55 and over communities. But many associations misunderstand what it takes to legally maintain that status. Under federal law, a community must meet strict requirements to qualify as housing for older persons.
In this episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, attorney Eric Glazer explains:
– The three legal requirements under HOPA
– Why the 80% rule matters
– The compliance mistake many boards make

Florida lawmakers are considering HB 657, a bill that would create a formal process allowing homeowners to terminate their HOA.
At first glance, that might sound like a dream for frustrated homeowners.
But what happens to private roads, stormwater systems, insurance, and shared amenities once an HOA disappears?
In this episode of Condo Craze & HOAs, attorney Eric Glazer breaks down the proposed law, how termination wou...
For decades, Florida required mediation before most HOA disputes went to court. It was designed to reduce lawsuits and control legal costs for homeowners.
HB 657 could change that.
If mediation is removed and disputes start in court, what happens next? More lawyers? More fees? More assessments?
We break down the bill, and what this could mean for condo and HOA owners across Florida.

What if Tallahassee just told your condo or HOA board…you’re no longer allowed to self-manage?
Florida's HB 465 and SB 822 could require associations with $500,000+ in annual revenue to hire a licensed community association management firm.
No more “we’ve got this.”
MANDATORY professional management.
Is this smart oversight after years of new regulations…or government overreach?

Most condo and HOA boards don’t lose money on concrete restoration because of bad work. They lose it because of bad decisions.
This week on Condo Craze and HOAs, Eric Glazer and Karen Curtis sit down with Mustafa Adeeb of PD Concrete to break down the 3 stages boards rarely understand:
• Choosing the right structural engineer
• Contractor selection and pre-bid meetings
• Change orders and hidden conditions

This week on Condo Craze and HOAs, Eric Glazer walks through a real condo election case he personally handled, where dozens of ballots were tossed.
Can boards reject ballots over signatures, envelopes, or who dropped them off?
What feels like a “small technicality” might actually void the entire election.
If you live in a condo or HOA, serve on a board, or manage an association, this one matters.

A Florida arbitrator just dropped a ruling that changes how condo and HOA board meetings should work, especially when owners are allowed to speak. Most boards do it one way. The law may require the opposite.
On this episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, Eric Glazer and Karen Curtis break down the case, the ruling, and why letting owners speak after a vote may defeat the entire purpose of the law.
